BREAKING: U.S. fires back at Russia for alleged election hacking, expels 35 Russian operatives from the country, imposes sanctionssteemCreated with Sketch.

As much as we know there's always a bias/angle & lies in most of the Mainstream Media -- the wheels continue to grind on Liberty and Truth.

The Obama administration said it was getting rid of 35 intelligence operatives and imposing sanctions on Russian intelligence services and officers, responding to evidence that Russia hacked Democratic Party officials during this year's presidential election.

Russian officials responded by saying (paraphrased by myself) :

  • that the measures are futile and counter productive to relations between the 2 countries and could hamper future relations
  • it showed a measure of hysteria and complete lack of organization of the outgoing Obama administration
  • that measures such as this will be met with retaliation

-- Diplomat Konstantin Dolgov


People are questioning the timing on this:

1/ post election period - why now?

2/ during the Christmas season when many are not paying attention to news. To that end, it is more Politics 101.

4/ The fact that the Trump admin. is preparing to take office in this transition period.

Craziness... Living in an inverted universe...

Agreed... the Matrix

Less than a month until this walking douche nozzle is out of office...I, for one, cannot wait...and should I see monuments, statues, or anything of the sort in honor of this anal wart sniffing ass bag, I will spare no expense defacing it permanently...the single worst President America has ever had...and that's saying a lot considering the greedy agenda driven pecker-heads we've had in that office before!

Read the news articles.. all similar.... Correct me if I'm wrong but codebreaking and or hacking has been going on inbetween countries way before this last election AND is being done so even as I reply to this post... Oh I forgot the Media Biased...sorry.... Just another distraction and or move by the "MAN" to keep us sheep.

  1. Old school mentality of Russia vs U.S.A to impliment distraction amongst the masses
  2. Politics 101 Just my opinion but they are trying to feed off the fear of the cold war again (setting the stage)
  3. Transition: Giving Trump a chance not only to blame Obama (we'll see alot of this from Trump) but amend relations with Russia and repeal sanctions. Just a possible scenario mind you.... Trump is a wild card.

2016 has been a year of one crazy thing after the next. I for one, hope that 2017 is more laid back.

not likely lol
